Grippat Hermitage 1998
Tasting Note
'dark, black-tinted robe. The nose shows Hermitage authority, with licorice and clear snap, has a Hermitage masculinity, inky coolness, iodine and blueberry. The palate starts boldly with a freedom of delivery in its black fruits, very neat freshness and detail. This is terroir, STGT wine with the glint of the hill in its subtle grain element. There is a close connection between nose and palate. It gains chewy insistence in its youthful finish. It has a fine mineral quality, good finesse, with floral and violet notes on the close.'
